Which side of the plane to sit from Quetta International Airport (Quetta) to Zhob Airport (Zhob)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the majestic Suleiman Range, including the legendary Takht-e-Sulaiman peak and the dramatic eastern escarpments dropping toward the Indus basin.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Suleiman Mountain Spine

The dramatic, jagged ridgelines of the Suleiman Range stretching toward the horizon.

🔝

Takht-e-Sulaiman

The highest peak in the range, known as the 'Throne of Solomon,' offering a massive limestone plateau.

🌊

Zhob River Basin

The seasonal riverbed that meanders through the landscape as the aircraft begins its descent into Zhob.

🏜️

Limestone Canyons

Deeply eroded canyons and vertical rock faces carved by centuries of rare but intense rainfall.

The right side is ideal for spotting the massive Takht-e-Sulaiman peak about midway through the flight. Since this route often uses smaller turboprop aircraft (ATR), window seats provide an unobstructed view below the wing. Keep your eyes peeled for the sharp transition from high mountain ridges to the river valley just before landing.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

Zarghun Ghar

High altitude peaks near Quetta, which are often capped with snow during the winter months.

⛰️

Toba Kakar Range

Rugged mountains forming the natural geographic boundary between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

⛏️

Muslim Bagh Mines

Bird's eye view of one of the world's largest chromite mining areas, marked by distinct excavations.

🏡

Pishin Valley

A glimpse of the orchards and agricultural patches that dot the arid landscape shortly after takeoff.

Early morning flights are recommended to catch the sun illuminating the Toba Kakar range. During winter, look for the 'Juniper forests' of Ziarat in the distance, which may appear as dark green patches against the brown rock. Use a polarized lens for photography to cut through the atmospheric haze common in Balochistan.
